TikTok stuck in a cycle of international scrutiny
Print Edition
TikTok only took about three years to become the most downloaded app in the world, vaulting to the top of a category long dominated by Western companies. As a result, all the controversy, publicity, and problems are almost certainly unavoidable.
But here’s the thing: TikTok appears to be on a roller coaster, or, more precisely, trapped in an endless cycle of being stumped by growing international scrutiny. A widespread ban and forced sale scheme have followed.
Due to privacy, security, and child safety concerns, an increasing number of countries have banned TikTok from government devices, if not entirely. They are the United States, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Canada, the European Union, India and New Zealand.
Let’s take a look at the ups and downs of its brief existence.
